• 🗂 Kanban Board Functionality

IskolarSpace includes a Kanban Board to help students visually organize and track their tasks through different stages of completion:

🟩 Key Kanban Features:

• Drag-and-drop task movement between columns (e.g., To Do, In Progress, Done)
• Column-based workflow for clear progress tracking
• Task prioritization and easy status updates
• Visual overview of all tasks and their current state
• Multi-select mode for acting on several tasks at once
• Collaborative updates in shared spaces for group projects

🔧 How It Works:

1. View tasks in Kanban columns representing different workflow stages
2. Drag tasks to update their status and progress
3. Instant updates for all collaborators in the space
4. Seamless integration with AI Study Planner and other productivity features

👥 Multi-Assignee Tasks

Group projects rarely belong to one person, so a task in a shared space can be assigned to any number of members rather than just one.

✨ Key Features:

• 🤝 Assign several members to a single task from one dropdown
• 🏷 Chips for each assignee, removable with a click
• 👀 At-a-glance ownership on Kanban cards, showing the first two names and a +N badge when more are assigned
• 📧 Email notifications sent to everyone newly added to a task
• 🔒 Space-scoped so only members of that space can be assigned

🔧 How It Works:

1. Open a task in the add or edit modal
2. Pick one or more members from the assignee dropdown
3. Everyone newly assigned is notified by email
4. Assignments stay put when a card is dragged between columns

🗑 Bulk Task Actions

Clearing finished work no longer means deleting tasks one at a time.

🔧 How It Works:

1. Enter selection mode on the Kanban board
2. Tick the tasks you want to remove
3. Confirm once to delete the whole selection

🔐 Spaces, Roles, and Access

Spaces are collaborative, so who can do what is enforced on the server, not just hidden in the interface.

✨ Key Features:

• 👑 Admin and member roles per space
• 🛡 Admin-only actions covering renaming a space, deleting it, removing members, and changing roles
• 🚪 Members can leave a space at any time
• 🔑 Every request is authenticated, and each one is checked against your membership of the space it targets
• 🧭 Tasks stay inside their space and are only readable by that space's members
• ⚠️ Last admin protected so a space can never be left without someone able to manage it

🗄 Database Setup

The app relies on Supabase Row Level Security policies. They are not optional: the Supabase key ships in the browser bundle, so these policies are what keep one user's data out of another user's reach.

Two SQL scripts must be applied to the database, in order:

1. sql/01_security_hardening.sql — enables Row Level Security and adds access policies
2. sql/02_multi_assignee.sql — creates the multi-assignee table and migrates existing assignments

Run them from the Supabase Dashboard → SQL Editor. Neither script deletes data. Take a backup first, and run the verification queries at the end of each file to confirm the result.

Required environment variables:

NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL=
NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=
GEMINI_API_KEY=
GMAIL_USER=
GMAIL_PASS=
NEXT_PUBLIC_URL=
